And let"s not forget the last longer from our holding tank players.

Gianluca Ragusi



Gianluca finished 24th.  Now, who would have predicted that ?

Hopefully we"ll see Gianluca in Nottingham for the WCOAP.

The question was asked and then answered, but no news of my prize. I would like to think it might be a buyin to the next UKIPT event, or if that is beyond the budget, then maybe a buy in to the Worlds ME at DTD? Now that would be nice! I am actually still waiting for my last Tighty prize, a APAT hat I think, maybe it"ll come with my medal! ;)

Hi everybody, sorry it"s been a while since the end of play.
Work, tiredness and bad chest have had me so as i couldn"t be bothered posting up until now. Well i say bothered i was bothered actually. Anyway, Vienna or "VENICE" depends which part of the thread you read. I have not yet had time to read this thread, so sorry if i repeat something obvious.

Great flights to Zurich and onto Vienna, although i nearly boarded plane to Venice(can you see the link Yet)?
40 Euro"s to the Concord card casino(I keep singing hotel California now everytime that place is mentioned)
12 Euro"s to hotel(shared the biggest bed i have ever seen with Duke in his exec suite) I rolled over did a cartwheel and still we never touched ;D ;D Paulie shared the taxi"s with Ger and myself.
Richard, Leigh and the staff at the CCC all did us very proud indeed. Everything flowed with such ease, just what you"d expect from pro"s and they delivered 100%
Although a smoking card room, i can say with all honesty that until i smelt my shirt the following morning it really never bothered me at all.
The food was of a vey good standard, and a big mention to Feruz behind the bar who had actually offered to show us around Vienna(nearly typed Venice then) on the Tuesday if our flights home were cancelled. How good is that?
My tourney began with me folding 22 on the very first hand after a 6 x bb raise, all my bones said call but i follow my brain and fold. Obviously to a flopped set. The betting got more aggressive and a massive river bet was folded to with 3 spades now on board, so who knows i could have lost tons there. Tons i did lose three hands later with KK, J-Q off called the raise with 2 others. Flop Q38 Q bets i raise two fold, Q calls. J on turn for 2 pair, i bet out, she calls.
I bet 1800 on rvr and 2 pr calls?(Did she think i had the set) why call? If not why not raise rvr with top 2 pair??
On it went, i hit set and bet to rvr where caller has made gutshot and i have to pay small value bet(10% of pot) :"(
This was pretty much the theme for my tourney, exit hand i push all in Q-8 on 10 9 7 flop and get called by 10-8 :P
10 on turn, JAck on rvr FTW, no a Q for two pair just to stick it both my eyes........ >:(
Onto the cash tables where i got a lot more of the same, betting to rvr and getting rvr"d by 2 pr undercards, insiders etc. Now then small ball made hands and now allow them to hit :o Decide to wait until Sunday.
Sunday sees an upturn in cash games. Play sun night tourney, being a great structure and 2.5k euros gauranteed.
I go out to Heir Ubergressive. 88 v my AK, all the money goes in on an AK3 flop, and he turns an 8...Back to cash tables. O.K. here no great shakes, profit then lost profit made profit and left level after 3 to 4 hours. At least by now i had adapted to these crazy Europeans who were actually applauding some of my let"s say weird strange and definately dangerous plays that got me paid off ::)
We had some great chats and drinking sessions filled laughter all the way, So to not yet mentioned Don, Don Phil Dai and all the others thank you for a very memorable and pleasant weekend. All the support for evryone was astounding.

Prob missed tons out here but here"s to the next one i can make.

Cheers Paul Mac
